Each player is given $1,000 in fictional money to wager on the MLB Playoffs, from the start of the Divisional Series through the conclusion of the World Series. You can bet as frequently or infrequently as you like, with the following guidelines.

~Minimum bet $50~Maximum bet $500~Must place a minimum of 10 bets and at least $1,500 in total wagers throughout the course of the entire playoffs

Whoever has the most cash left at the end of the World Series is our winner, and takes down the entire kitty. You run out of cash, obviously, you're out. No rebuys.

Scenario - wild card game.

Orioles (Tillman) +160Athletics (B.Anderson) -180

Would have to bet $180 on Oakland to win $100. Conversely, betting $100 on Baltimore would win you $160.

A $500 max bet on Oakland would win you $288. A $500 max bet on Baltimore would win you $800.

The pool operator has to make some juice.Make sense?
